John Ledyard · Apr 14, 2026

Ledyard says San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson will be a first-round pick after a strong combine and interview process, and expects cornerbacks Mansoor Delaine and Jermott McCoy to be gone before Detroit picks at No. 17.

He's gonna go in the first round. I feel really confident about that.

  • Chris Johnson to be picked “in the first round” (picks 1–32)

    people are talking about his San Diego State corner, Chris Johnson. I think that's a Chris Johnson not only blew up the combine, but he's also crushed the interview process of teams. He's gonna go in the first round. I feel really confident about that.

    Think this is wrong?

  • Mansoor Delane to be picked “off the board before pick No. 17”

    Mansoor Delaine's off the board. Jermott McCoy's off the board, Let's say at seventeen. Likely right now.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
